All that glistens... the world premiere of Xie Xin’s The Moon in the Ocean is the highlight of a mixed bill programme spanning 90 years of choreography. 

Olga Neuwirth and Elfriede Jelinek take on Donald Trump in their latest operatic collaboration. 

At Staatsoper Hamburg, Unsuk Chin’s new opera The Dark Side of the Moon immerses audiences in an hypnotic, introspective journey, where dreams, science and psyche collide in a rigorously crafted, thought-provoking spectacle.

The rather imposing proposition of taking over the reigns from John Neumeier has fallen to Demis Volpi, who has brought fresh and explosive pieces into the repertoire at Hamburg.

In Tcherniakovs neuer Inszenierung an der Staatsoper Hamburg ist Asmik Grigorian nach fünf Jahren endlich wieder als Salome zu erleben.

Opening the new opera season, Kent Nagano powerfully directs Mussorgsky's great psychodrama about a famous tsar, marred only by Frank Castorf's visually confusing and symbolically overweighted production. 

In the 48th Nijinsky Gala of his 50-year tenure, John Neumeier curated a well-balanced and thrilling evening of dance with a most impressive roster of dancers.

John Neumeier's Sylvia is a ballet that, like Greek theatre, speaks for all time and is a joy to watch.
